What problem does it solve?
ui-brief helps teams stop mismatched expectations by converting vague UI intent into a precise, constraint-based product and design brief that downstream work can trace back to.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Pre-flight requirement gathering: Collects answers for primary user, primary action, success criteria, constraints, and non-goals, asking when information is missing instead of inventing defaults.
- Spec Recovery with Observed vs. Target: Reconstructs missing intent from an existing UI by clearly separating what the current UI does (Observed) from what it should do (Target), with explicit gaps.
- Strict, validation-oriented output template: Produces a brief.md that follows the required template sections and enforces acceptance criteria such as measurable success criteria and explicit assumptions/open questions.
Quick Start
Use ui-brief to create a structured brief by telling the AI: "I want to build a settings page for our team chat app where admins manage members; web only; users are IT admins at mid-sized companies—draft the UI brief and ask any open questions."
